September 1st saw a law change which increased the age from 14 to 15 for youngsters here being able to legally ride a 50 CC moped or scooter on the roads.
The new rules also add that pillion passengers cannot be carried until age 18. Riders will still have to take a written and short practical test in order to gain their licence, and then from age 16 they will be allowed to ride motorcycles of up to 125 CC.
Scooters and mopeds are almost a rite of passage here in Spain, with most youngsters gaining their on road experience buzzing around the streets.
